*''Japanese'': 富士川の戦い ''(Fujigawa no tatakai)''
The Battle of Fujigawa was an early battle of the [[Gempei War]], taking place late in the 10th month of [[1180]]. It represents an early defeat for the [[Taira clan]], and specifically, a force led by [[Taira no Koremori]], grandson to [[Taira no Kiyomori]].
[[Minamoto no Yoritomo]] formally declared war on the Taira in the 8th month of 1180 and began raising forces in the [[Kanto region|Kantô region]]. The following month, he formally joined forced with [[Kiso no Yoshinaka]]. In response to this, Kiyomori dispatched his grandson Koremori to travel east to fight the [[Minamoto clan]]. Koremori was defeated and turned back, however, at a location along the [[Fuji River]] in [[Suruga province]] (today, [[Shizuoka prefecture]]), just west of [[Mt. Fuji]].
